A woman at the reins of a four-horse team is what sets this view apart from ordinary carriage portraits. The title credits the coach to Mrs. Thos. Hastings of New York, though the caption data is marked as unverified. Driving a four-in-hand was a demanding pastime among fashionable New Yorkers in the early 1900s, and women who handled full teams drew notice in parks and on country roads. The picture comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, whose glass negatives were made by the Bain News Service.
